Residents in Bolton can look forward to a week of dry, sunny weather as high pressure remains in control across the United Kingdom from Wednesday 22 April to Tuesday 28 April 2026. According to the Met Office, temperatures are expected to climb steadily throughout the period, starting at 15°C on Wednesday and reaching a high of 21°C by Saturday.

This settled weather pattern will bring plenty of sunshine with minimal chance of rain for most of the week. While there is a slight 10% chance of showers on Sunday afternoon at 4pm, the probability of precipitation remains below 5% for the remainder of the time. The conditions are expected to remain clear, with visibility ranging from 24km to 35km.

While the weather is ideal for outdoor activities, the Met Office advises residents to take precautions due to moderate UV levels. Officials suggest using sunscreen and avoiding prolonged time in the sun without protection during the middle of the day. Additionally, those who suffer from hay fever should note that pollen levels are expected to rise from moderate on Wednesday to high from Thursday through Sunday.

According to data from The Met Office, air quality in the area is rated as low for most of the week. This favourable air quality means that residents are encouraged to enjoy their usual outdoor plans while the warm and dry spell continues.
